The emperor was sitting in his bed when the assassin came in through the window.
"Welcome, old friend."
"Wait," the assassin wheezed.
The emperor waited for him to catch his breath.
"I'm too old for this," the assassin said at last.
The emperor smiled. "It's been over sixty years since the first time you came to kill me."
"Mm. And a dozen times more. Yet you are still alive. You always were persuasive."
"I hope I still am. I would ask you to do it now."
"What?"

)A pair of twin deer down a snowy hill, enjoying winter days together: cold air, snow flying around them, no worrying about anything else.
There’s something especially nostalgic about drawing scenes like this, a kind of fake nostalgia since I never got to do anything like this when I was younger, since I didn't get to see snow until I was adult, but there is something about the feeling of being in a snowy place or just to seeing snow that brings me some kind of joy, it is like everything goes to a different tone. It's hard to explain.
But well, this was done during the Artists Alley at MFF.
Traditional. Color markers and pencils over toned tan paper.

Still learning how to drive these things!!!
May have to update this when the X66 is running >.>
Wow those are some real beauties. I'm a little jealous.
I was more referring to the additional midi keyboard, the midi control pad, and the two computer keyboards atop the console in the original photo
FINALLY!! New tech that’s actually USEFUL!

Sequence of drawings for our Christmas card. When I did this painting (around September) I had no idea we were going to have a cat in November, otherwise I would have included him as well.

Archer, the red panda, holding a snowball almost as big as himself. Is he about to throw it at someone? Or is he carefully preparing the base for a snowwah?

A happy fox staring back at you from a tequila bottle, judging your life choices in a very friendly way.
This request was especially fun and interesting to make. Painting a fox directly onto a glass tequila bottle. Working with acrylics on curved glass felt very different from my usual surfaces, and there was no way back since the canvas was completely transparent

Phew, finished making and writing cards. I've even delivered some to our neighbours. Just the rest to do tomorrow, when I drive to the old house to collect some stuff, and also put cards through old neighbours' doors too.
(The baubles I put on the front of the card were from https://christmasstockimages.com/)

Well I certainly had no idea until I saw this.
(Well, actually I think there was a previous video explaining the same thing, but I didn't get round to posting it that time. 🤷)
Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.YouTube
Happy solstice to all who celebrate. And for those north of the equator, may your next few hundred days be longer than this one!
(For those south, it's summer so you have nothing to complain about, day-length-wise.)

Stumbled upon my video from BLFC 2021, first post-lockdown con. A) I like this one, it's cute. B) Totally just realized I kinda like all the hyooman faces obscured by masks in a video intended to highlight fursuits :)

"I am dying, with only a few months left. And the pain grows every day." The emperor made a grimace. "You'll finally get paid."
"I won't kill you for money," the assassin said. "Not anymore."
"Would you kill me for the sake of friendship?"
Nobody saw the assassin leave, after.
